Tricia Malcom, Benjamin Fraser Camille Kresz 02/06/2017 English, Spanish Document, Video Hospital de la Santa Creu “If you look North from the fortress mountain of Montjuic […] you will see the emerging mass of the church of the Holy Family, the Sagrada Familia” as told by Sobrer (2002: 205). While Barcelona is known for this beautiful cathedral, it offers more to visitors in the form of architecture. The Hospital de la Santa Creu Sant Pau was one of the many buildings that was planned by Domènech i Montaner (Hughes 2004: 117). The project was assigned to Montaner because the original hospital, Hospital de la Sant Creu (“Holy Cross”) burned to the ground. Hughes claimed that Barcelonans were lucky that this occurred because “Barcelona in 1900 had never had an acceptable hospital” (2004: 117). The new hospital was to be erected in a more hygienic area known as the Eixample (Hughes 2004: 117). The Eixample, as explained by Zarsoso and Martínez-Vidal, “was the beginning of a new medical landscape based on a new approach to the spatial organization of health care architecture” (2016: 90). The hospital has all of their service areas underground which allowed for the patients to be more at ease. Domènech took great care in trying to alleviate the association between hospitals and death (Hughes 2004: 118). This is why the building has no resemblance to an ordinary hospital. To elevate the design further, Montaner installed a skylight, or claraboia, on the roof.,allowing for natural sunlight to enter and brightening the moods of all who arrived. Montaner’s main purpose was to make patients get better and continue on with their lives (Hughes 2004: 119).  Item changed by user 26 at 2017-02-06 17:56:23.Created manually by user
